TORONTO, March 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HEALWELL AI Inc. ("HEALWELL" or the "Company") (TSX: AIDX) (OTCQX: HWAIF), an AI and data science company focused on preventative care, is pleased to provide a corporate update including the release of preliminary financial results for its Fiscal Fourth Quarter and Year Ended December 31, 2023. These results are unaudited and remain subject to the completion of the Company's year-end financial reporting processes, audit, and any potential adjustments that might result.  

Selected unaudited financial result expectations for the periods include:

• Annual revenue from continuing operations of $7.32 million during fiscal 2023. Quarterly revenue from continuing operations of $1.92 million during Q4-2023.
• Net Loss from continuing operations of $30.20 million.
• As at December 31, 2023, HEALWELL had Net assets of $21.96 million and cash of $19.16 million.
  

Dr. Alexander Dobranowski, HEALWELL's CEO, commented, "Fourth quarter was a historic chapter in HEALWELL's journey as we marked our debut, with an unwavering commitment to revolutionize healthcare through AI innovation. During the fourth quarter we forged a transformative partnership with WELL Health Technologies Corp. (TSX: WELL), secured approximately $29.5 million through convertible debt and equity financings, and completed the acquisition of a majority interest in Pentavere, one of the leading healthcare AI platforms in Canada. Our recent acquisition of Intrahealth further strengthens HEALWELL's position as a leading AI and data science company in the healthcare sector."

Dr. Alexander Dobranowski further adds, "We have an extremely positive outlook based on our organic growth profile and M&A strategy. We currently have a strong and active acquisition pipeline with the potential to more than double our current revenue run-rate of over $20 million to over $40 million per year, by using the existing cash we have on hand. We look forward to providing more details on our upcoming quarterly investor conference call."

Scott Nirenberski, HEALWELL's CFO, commented, "During the fourth quarter we solidified our balance sheet, which enabled the Company to complete the Intrahealth acquisition in Q1-2024. Our 2023 results are not indicative of the Company's current run-rate revenues as Intrahealth is expected to achieve over $12 million revenue this year and we are expecting both Khure Health and Pentavere revenues to also accelerate in 2024. In addition, we are also expecting to improve our profitability and cash flow profile in the coming quarters."

All figures reported above are preliminary and unaudited, are based on information available to management as of March 21, 2024, and are subject to further changes upon completion of the Company's audit and year-end financial reporting processes, audit and any potential adjustments that may result. This update does not present all necessary information for an understanding of HEALWELL's financial condition as of the date of this release, or its results of operations for the year and quarter ended December 31, 2023. As HEALWELL finalizes its financial statements for the periods, it is possible that the Company may identify items that require it to make adjustments to the preliminary financial information set forth above and those changes could be material. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this information. The Company does not intend to provide preliminary results in future periods.

HEALWELL will release its financial results for the Year Ended December 31, 2023 next week. Details will be provided separately when they are available.
